been treated with Hubam clover
and still has 95% root rot infes-
tation. Field 3 adjoining field 2
was what Marburger termed his
best cotton land because it didn’t
die cotton. The figures below
reveal the following facts:
Field 1-Root rot-clover land
nroduced 5556.3 lbs lint at 39c-
$216.04.
Field 2-Untreated root rot land
produced 132.2-lbs. lint at 39c
- $51.92.
Field 3-Untreated root rot free
land produced 390.1 lbs. lint at
39c-$152.59.
With the above results and
figures in mind the District Su-
pervisors are urging all land-
owners to take advantage of this
information and to use this deep
rooted legume in their rotation.
It not only controls cotton root
rot but increases yields where
this conditions is not a factor.
It is noted that the increase was
over sixty three dollars from the
root rot free land to that which
had a serious infestation before
treatment. This points out the
value of Hubam clover as a
straight builder.
Millard (Chico) Vickers in the
Sodville Area says that he has
50 acres of Hubam clover up to a
good stand. It was seeded the
day before the hard rains fell.
He also has very good Blue Pa-
nic grass and is planing Buffel
grass.

TIME TO CHANGE TACTICS
“For one reason or another,
even a wisely led political party,
given long tenure of office, final-
ly fails to express any longer
the will of the people, and when
it does so fail to express the
will of the people, it ceases to be
an effective instrument of gov-
ernment. It is far better for such
a political party, certainly better
for the state, that is should be
relegated to the role of critic
and that the opposing party
should assume the reins of gov-
vernment.”
Now, who in the world do you
suppose said the foregoing?
It sounds as though it might be
a part of the Republican Party
Platform of 1952. What more na-
tural for the party that has been
living in the cold climate of op-
position for 18 out of the last 20
years to declare that it would
like to bask in the sunny warmth
of rule; that it is time for a
change; that the greatest good
for the greatest number of Am-
erican people will enventuate by
bringing to an end for the time
being, the reign of the Democra-
tc Party?
But it wasnT the Republican
Party platform.
Could it have been Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the presidential
nominee of the Republican Party,
who is stumping the nation in a
plea to the American electorate
to install him in the rejuvenated
and refurbished White House?
No, it wasn’t Ike.
Was it Senator Nixon, Repub-
lican nominee for the Vice-
Presidency, who with youthful
vigor and smashing eloquence is
sounding off from the rock-
bound coast of Maine to the
sunny slopes of his California,
asking the American voters to
turn the “rascals” out and elect
Eisenhower and himself to the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency?
No, it wasn’t Dick Nixon.

ator Taft, who despite his keen
disappointment at having failed
to win the Republican presiden-
tial nomination, has taken to the
rostrum to urge the American
people to elect to the Presidency
the man who “beat him to the
draw” by copping the nomina-
tion?
No, it wasn’t Bob Taft.
Well, then, who was it?
That classic and true statement
was made by none other than
the arch architect and master
builder of the New Deal—Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt. He- made
it during the 1932 presidential
campaign, at a time when Re-
publican administrations had
been in office for only 12 years
—not 20 years as have Demo-
cratic administrations for the
past two decades.
The American electorate lis-
tened, then flocked to the polls
to elect Roosevelt President of
the United States. In 1932 they
believed it was time for a change
after only 12 years, even though
at that time there was no “mess”
to be cleaned up at Washington,
such as exists today after 20
years of Democratic rule. They
felt the Republicans had been on
the job long enough.
And now after 20 years in the
saddle, the Democratic Party
definitely has outlived its use-
fullness insofar as guiding the
affairs of this nation, either do-
mestically or internationally, is
concerned. It is time, in fact
way past the “role of critic,”
where it will once again become
the servant of the people instead
of its master.
The Democratic Party has
grown careless, inefficient, arro-
gant and- corrupt due to its long
tenure in office. It is idle to as-
sume that it can rejuvenate and
purge itself while in office. That
purge can only come from its
defeat at the polls next Novem-
ber 4th.
No truer woids were ever spo-
ken than those uttered by Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt in the 1932
presidential campaign. They are
worth repeating “again and
again.” So, in closing, I requote
the statement made by the self-
same individual who, after being j
elected, had a change of heart
and inveigled the unwritten law
of two terms only for a Presi-
dent, by electing him not only
for a third term, but also a
fourth-

cotton about 95% before being
planted to Hubam clover in the
fall of 1949. It now has 10% in-
